ATLANTA-Looking to earn a record-tying win, Georgia State will conclude non-conference play at Chattanooga on Saturday afternoon. The tip is set for 1 p.m. from McKenzie Arena.

Georgia State (8-4) has won five of its last seven games with the only two losses coming in overtime. A ninth win on Saturday would tie the program record for most non-conference wins in program history.

Chattanooga (6-6) is coming off a come-from-behind victory over Jacksonville State on Thursday afternoon. The Mocs will be facing the Panthers for the 19th time overall, but just second since 1989.

Saturday’s contest can be heard live on 1340 The Fan 3/103.7 FM with Dave Cohen, now in his 35th year as the Voice of the Panthers, being joined by 680 The Fan’s Brandon Leak. The game will also air on the WatchESPN platform. Live statistics and live audio will be available at GeorgiaStateSports.com and on most mobile devices.

The Panthers are coming off an impressive 71-63 victory at UMass on Wednesday. Georgia State knocked down 16 3-pointers, tied for the third-most in school history, making 11-of-15 in the second half. Sophomore D’Marcus Simonds just missed his third double-double of the year with 24 points and nine rebounds.

“I was extremely proud of the way this team bounced back from the tough loss at Dayton to earn an impressive win on the road at UMass,” head coach Ron Hunter said. “However, now we have to quickly turn our attention to a very good Chattanooga program that is coming off a good win themselves. This will be a tough battle on a short turnaround.”

Hunter, who picked up his 400th career win earlier this year, is already Georgia State’s all-time winningest coach, despite this being just his seventh season at the helm of the Panthers.

Georgia State enters play ranked No. 13 in the NCAA with a 5.3 turnover margin and is No. 28 in the country in turnovers forced.

Among Georgia State’s most potent offensive options is Simonds who enters Saturday averaging 21.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game. His points per game total would set a school record if the season ended today. The reigning Sun Belt Freshman of the Year has scored in double figures in 29-straight games dating back to last year.

Simonds is one of three Panthers scoring in double figures. Mitchell is second on the team averaging 12.3 points per game. After being held scoreless in the first half at UMass, he finished with 14 points, knocking down three 3-pointers in the final four minutes of the game. He has made a team-high 33 3-pointers and is shooting 44.0 percent from beyond the arc.

Junior Malik Benlevi rounds out the group and is averaging 11.8 points and a team-high 6.3 rebounds per game, shooting 50.9 percent from 3-point range. He is second in the Sun Belt with 34.3 minutes play per game, only behind Simonds.

The Panthers are scoring 73.6 points per game while holding opponents to just 65.0 points per contest. Equally remarkable, Georgia State has forced 207 turnovers, while turning the ball over just 143 times.
